MUMBAI, India (AP) — President Barack Obama has arrived in Mumbai, India, to begin a 10-day trip that will also take him to Indonesia, South Korea and Japan.
The president and his wife, Michelle, arrived at midday local time Saturday after traveling more than 15 hours on Air Force One.
The president’s first stop in Mumbai will be at a memorial for victims of the 2008 terror attacks that killed 166 people in this booming financial center. He then visits a museum in a home where Gandhi once lived.
The main event of Obama’s day is a speech to U.S. and Indian business executives. The president is expected to announce some trade deals to bring jobs to the U.S.
Obama is seeking to highlight tangible benefits from closer ties with India.
